The Socialist Party joined thousands of others at the Battle of Cable Street 80th anniversary commemorative march and rally on 9 October in east London, selling over 50 copies of the Socialist paper. The march celebrated the victory over fascism in 1936 when an alliance of workers, Jews, dockers and socialists stopped the Blackshirts marching into the East End.
